Aim of the course -
Last update: RNDr. Jan Hric (07.06.2019)

To learn basic techniques used in evolutionary algorithms. Show connections with related topics of datamining and learning.

Course completion requirements -
Last update: Mgr. Martin Pilát, Ph.D. (13.10.2017)

In order to pass the course, the student must obtain the credit for the seminar and pass an exam. The credit is given for solving assignments from the seminar. The nature of study verification excludes the possibility of its repetition.
